Mr.. Gust Benedicks, one of the
directors of the General Swedish |
Trotting Association, gives graph
ic account of the ''horse world in
Sweden. The central office of the
association is at Stockholm. The
president is count Alfred Pipen and
the royal family take great interest
in the races, which usually are
held in the winter on the ice. The
circular track of one English mile
is enclosed and an admission fee is
charged.
The crowds are always large and
enthusiastic, although there is no
public betting as there is in this
country. In fact, there is not a
single active book maker in all
Sweden. Professional trainers and
drivers are scarce, and the speed OF
horses is not developed with Skill.
1t Is the custom for each owner to
drive himself. The maximum rate
of speed is $50 to the mile and.a
horse capable Of doing this, if sound
and without fsult, is valued at from
$1,000 to $4,000.
The judges occupy stand in the
center of the infeld, and the horses,
only two Of which start at ore time,
travel in opposite directions. One
goes to the right and the other to
the left, and the competitor which
gets back to the starting line first is
declared the winner. The specta
tors in this style of competition are
first intereste! in the widening OF
the gap, and after the half mile
post has been reached they grow
excited over the steadily close o
the same.
This method is great improve
ment IN many respects over tht
American method, as it keeps tn
spectators in longer suspense, doe
away with all chances Of collision
and prevents the horse from gettin!
excited and breaking. Then, toe
one driver cannot form anywher
near a correct idea as to the exac
] speed of his competitor, and i
therefore compelled to make hi
J horse do its best. 1t is more diff
cult, however, to follow a race {
this description than one in whic
the horses travel side by side an
: in the same direction. The prize
&c are mainly for Swedish-bred horses
!. but in some classes horses tro0 Fir
land are allowed to enter.
The heats are differently arraug
ed from what they are in the Uni
ed States. For instance, if ther
are six horses entered for one rae
two Of them contest in one hea
Then the winner makes heat wit
another, the defeated horse alway
retiring from the contest. If Oh
horse wins three heats and then
defeated by horse that also wiz
three, the two race final heat
q decide the contest. There are
number of small associations j
, Sweden, but the club at Stockhol
gives a national character to ii
sport. Breeding enterprises a
springipg up in all parts of tt
country and the quality of the rae
horse is being rapidly improve

THE LAST STEP.

1t is curious but true reflection that
the last lingering remnants of sectional
hate and prejudice should be of re-
hgious character. And yet it is so. In
the almost cold ashes of the great civil
conflict, there still shoulder the embers
OF sectional and sectarian animositv.
Ministers OF the gospel of Christ
men on whose shoulders have de-
scended the rent garment of
the meek and lowly Nazerene;
those who bring the glad tidings to the
day and generation of "peace on earth
and good will towards men," the men
to whom has been given as a universal
text, CHARITY covereth a multitude of
sins" are the unreconciled ones. But it
seems as if these sectarian-politico differ
ences are about to be adjusted. There
is strong prospect of sectional
Protestant churches hereafter dwell
ing together in peace and con-
cord. The Northern and Southern
branches of the Presbyterian Church
have just apparently signed and sealed
the covenant Of new Union. We trust
that the union will be enduring. The
sectional branches of the Presbyterian
and Methodist Churches have been as
adamant to each other. May they have
fully seen the errors of their ways, and
may those errors be chastening in effect.
Well may the San Francisco Post exclaim
"When the Presbyterians unite the war
is indeed over" The last step is taken.

THE NEW CABINET.

The new French Minister of War saws
that he will follow the example of his
predecessor, General Boulanger, and con-
unue TO strengthen the military force of
france. This is a rather singular declar-
atlon ior the new Minister to make on
the threshold of office. 1t was the action
ol strengthening the military force of
france which caused the fall of the Cob
let ministry.

CABINET General Boulanger devoted
every possible franc to the improvement
oi the French Army. The plans of
boulanger were not yet fully realized.
lie wanted to still more completely arm
France. But this complete arminc re-
qmred vast amounts of money. The
Budget Committee objected. Boulaneer
refused to abate in the least the outlaws
OF the War Office, and the Goblet minis
try fell.
And now, before the new Cabinet is
scarcely in its place, its War Minister
says that he will follow the example of
his predecessor in office. The truth of
matter seems TO be that France is i'm
bued with the war spirit. She has her
conservative and cautious statesmen, and
of these is supposed to be the Rouvier
Ministry. But France wants no cautious

A DEMOCRATIC EXPRESSION.

Mr.. Cleveland says that he considers
"offenses against the election laws as the
worst of all crimes" This is a true
expression of Democratic opinion. 1t is
a clear and concise statement of Demo-
cratic principles. 1t is a Democratic
concentrations declaration and embod-
iment of popular rights.
Ofenses against the election
laws are ofenses against the
people. Ofenses against the people
are ofenses against the Nation, and
can any crime be greater than a
crime against the Nation? In fact, an
ofense against the election laws is high
treason. 1t should be punished as such.
The people are the Government. The
exponent of this Government is the bal
lot-box. The ballot rules. A blow struck
at the ballot is a blow strnck at the
sovereignty of the people. Well may
Mr.. Cleveland, the peoples President,
say that "offenses against the election
laws are the worst of all crimes" As a
crime against the nation an ofense of
this character strikes straight at the
fabric of popular government. 1t is an
attempt to defeat the will of the people,
the ruler of the land. 1t is an actual eff
fort to subvert popular institutions.
When the ballot is attacked, the gov
ernment is assailed. As the representa-
tive of Democracy Mr.. Cleveland has
succintly defined this danger. As the
active strength OF the people, Democracy
will avert the peril.

THE PERILs OF OCEAN TRAVEL.

Few people have any conception of the
power required to stop a great ocean
steamer when under full headway. Some
interesting experiments have been made
from which the conclusion has been
reached that with a reversal of the
engines when under full speed one of
these great steamers cannot be stopped
In less than two miles and sometimes
nearly twice that distance. Bearing
this in mind it may be seen that with a
half speed headway the crashing to-
gether Of two such steamers as the Celtic
and the Britannia must result in gIeat in
jury to one or both. In these days of rapid
ocean transt it is suspected that the COM
manders OF ocean steamers sometimes
sacrifice safety to speed and take risks
that should not be taken in order to
make quicker trips than are made by
rival lines. The possibilities for disas-
trous collisions are multiplied far above
the possibilities that exist ON well regu-
lated railways, where the track and its
conditions are continually under scrutiny.
No double tracks, no sidings, no oswitches,
provide against ocean accidents, but the
vast expanse of water is open to any driver
and laws promulgated on land are obeyed
or disobeyed as may happen.
BY far the greater number of collisions
at sea are due to carelessness and neg
lect to observe ordinary precautions
against accidents that may at any time
occur. Especially is this true in dense |
fogs. While the sailing craft will lie by
and sound frequent signals, the steamers
will rush headlong, regardless of their
own or their neighbor's safety. There
appears but one methed of dealing with
such cases, and that is the speedy trial
and severe sentence of such commanders
as by carelessness or recklessnesss bring
disaster to their own or to other craft and
death to passengers. Unavoidable acci-
dents may occur, and when proved to be
such, are certainly excusable, but that
class OF accidents which is born of heed
lessness and lack of caution deserves
Doth condemnation and punishment of
those who cause them.-CleoeIand Plain
Dealer

and conservative statesmen. She wants
action. The nation herself is burning
for revenge on Germany, and she will
not rest until that revenge has been
glutted, or until she herself is shorn of
national power:
Hence the popularity of Boulanger.
In remodelling and Strengthening
the French army, General Boulanger
has done precisely what the people
wanted done. The French taxpayers
grudge no money going TO army uses.
Every franc judiciously spent by the War
Office increased just that much the pros
pect looming always large before French
eyes, of chastising the hated German.
The new ministry has evidently appre-
ciated the situation at the instant OF
grasping the reins of government. 1t
remains to be seen what will be
the result of this evident conviction
on the part OF a peace Cabinet,
that a war policy is the only policy
possible. One of two things must hap
pen and that speedily. Either the Rou-
vier Cabinet must make the policy Of
the Immediately preceding Ministry its
own, thereby stultifying itself, or it must
enter upon struggle with the Nation
it intends to govern. Either course is
fatal.
The Rouvier Ministry is of the most
mushroom character. 1t scarcely attains
to the dignity of a make shift. 1t goes
into Office labelled to 60 out.

OF INTEREST.

For many years the destructive effect
Of insects upon the shade trees in our
city parks and in some parts of the coun-
try has been very marked Recently the
attention of the U. S. Bureau OF Ento-
mology has been called to this condition
of things. Accordingly, the chief etomol-
cradle attention to the causes OF the
trouble, the natural history of the de-
structive insects, and to the most effect
ual way of dealing with them. The re-
suits are embodied in pamphlet issued
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
In it the subject is treated in an admira-
BILE manner, and the pamphlet should be
in the library of everyone interested in
forestry and arboriculture.
Four kinds OF insects are accredited
with most of the injury. Their popular
names are the elm-leaf beetle, the white
marked tussock moth, the bag worm
and the fall web worm. The importation
of the English sparrow it was hoped
would lead to the destruction of many
of the tree insects, but the most injurious
insects have not been attacked by the
birds. 1t is rather to be feared that the
sparrow, in drying away our native birds,
has favored the increase of the insects
formerly devoured by the latter.
Various methods, as already alluded
to, have been suggested for dealing with
them. The elm leaf beetle (GaIeruca
TdnihomelGnd) may be intercepted on
their travels up and down the tree trunk
by some adhesive girdle or trough.
Sheets may be placed under the
branches, and the larvae descend the tree
trunk when they are fully grown,
and, on reaching the ground, estab-
lish themselves near the tree and
develop into pup3. In the two weeks of
larval life between the egg and pupa
stages, they do their destructive work.
This habit suggests one treatment. 1t is
the tree. These may be a foot or
eighteen inches in height, with their |
bottom edges sunk in the earth and the |
area within them cemented. The larvae |
will accumulate in this space, and will |
change into pup8. While thus confined, |
they can be killed with scalding hot |
water.
As palliative of the evil, much NAV
be done by proper selection of trees. |
Thus the native American elm (EYnaus |
Americana) is practically free from the |
ravages of the beetle. But the question |
is one of present Importance, and the |
trees, as now standing, must be dealt |
The web worm is, perhaps, of equal or
greater injury than the elm leaf beetle
lts webs on the branches of wild cherry
trees are most disagreeably familiar to
dwellers on Long Island. But thew are
nearly omnivorous. Over a hundred
species of trees and shrubs attacked bv
